OK, so here we are, with just 1 minute left to go, I’m at the end of the Lent period for 2014. And, as the clock strikes midnight, it’s then end to my 44-day enforced denial of all the food and drink I really love!
After nearly caving in LAST year, trying to do the same, I wasn’t sure that I’d make it through the period without succumbing to the temptation of 2014’s 26 ‘banned substances’, but I have! So, it’s a big thank-you to Ann for putting-up with having to re-jig meals to conform to my list, as well as our friends and family who also tolerated my weird-ways during this period.
The result? First of all, I’ve got a smug look on my face because I managed to find the will-power to resist all that yummy food and drink, and secondly, I lost a bit of weight too – more than half a stone!
Whilst the smugness continues, I’m going to create next year’s list – and make it even tougher!!!
Now where’s that Burger bar… and the kebab…. and the curry…. and the beer… and the chips?!?!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
